Happy New Year!
One of my (few) resolutions for the new year is to do more blogging. In the process of coming to this resolution, I realized that I don't really want to blog about my life because, to be honest, my life isn't really that interesting. I work. I go to school. I come home and spend time with my sweetie doing interesting things such as reading books and knitting and studying. Maybe I will talk about those things here, but I want more from this little place on the Interwebs.
Mostly, I want a place to work out my thoughts about my life as a public librarian as that relates to all that I am learning in my MBA program. When I made the decision to go back to school, I did it, in part, because I was already spending a lot of time reading the things that I am now required to read for my program.
I'm also a newly-minted branch manager. There's a lot swimming around in my head these days. I can share some of it with a few people, but mostly, when I tell someone I'm reading the latest book on management theory or how to be more efficient with my time, their eyes glaze over. Creating a blog about these things will give me a place to talk about it.
There is so much out there: books, blogs, podcasts (I'm particularly fond of The Cranky Middle Manager and Management Craft), journals. If I find out about something cool, I'll write about it. If I read an interesting book, I'll write about it. You get the drill. If you have any suggestions for me and other readers, please share them!
I'm intending for 2009 to be a year of much learning and joy. The economy is in the dumpster, which is hurting more people than I can even imagine. I know it's easy for me to say that, in the midst of it all, life must go on as normally as possible.
Here we go! Weeeee!
